I watch these videos to educate myself of how to fly and what not to do. You can learn so much by watching others fail. I watch these and think about what I would do differently in that situation. Some of the pilots flying these I honestly question their decisions and wonder if I would have handled it better and had a different outcome. I’m 15, been flying a little over 8 years and these videos have significantly helped me with my theory’s on flying not just rc but also in rc.
"Walk of shame"...brutal! Watching that hurt my wallet! Great vids Pete. I really got a chuckle out of the comment "can I have this bit?" Talk about picking over the bones! Thanks Pete! I'm looking forward to the next installment.
You’re having trouble landing because the airspeed is too high. The airplane is still flying and you are forcing it down. The same thing happens in real aircraft.
Same with my Cherokee. Ive seen a couple of green pilots trying to force the airplane onto the runway when the wing is still flying. I was taught that you picked up a low wing with the rudder and not the ailerons when landing so as not to cause a tip stall. I also use the throttle to make adjustments to the glide slope.
When I build a scratch or even ARF tail dragger I ALWAYS move the front landing gear Forward. New holes. Reinforcement and some blind nuts and no More flip overs. Some planes only need 10mm or so to make a world of difference
Not to play Monday morning quarterback (also I don't play sports) but there are some stick and rudder skills missing with most of these landings. I fly full scale and RC taildraggers and the first thing I learned while landing a Champ is full back elevator on touchdown to keep that little wheel on the back stuck to the ground!
For all the critical pros like Curt Lewis, Flowoda and 13 year-old Livin'it elsewhere in this Comment section, please don't forget that this is a compilation video. All the pilots and models will have had dozens or hundreds of incident-free sessions; all you're seeing are the rare bits that went wrong; reality gets compressed and distorted. How else do you think insurance salesmen manage to make a living? Skilled, confident guys just like you pay them a fortune in premiums, convinced that you're wasting your cash - nothing bad could happen because you're such sensible drivers/pilots, right? Right. No one ever makes mistakes. But just as with all those 'near crash' motoring videos where drivers or bikers are shown swerving all over the road and behaving like idiots, most people watching would say exactly what you're saying - "Couldn't happen to me! I'm way better than that!" But I bet you EVERY SINGLE driver sobbing over the wreck of his Lamborghini would have said exactly the same thing the day before Dr Screw-Up paid a call. Life's dead easy when it's happening to somebody else. And at least TBOBBORAP1 shows honest videos. Brutally honest. We get to see the good stuff and the bad stuff; it's all presented openly and handled fairly, without any censoring for 'patriotic' (nationalistic) propaganda purposes. I think some audible swearing gets muted or 'bleeped' to keep TH-cam's obscenity algorithms happy, but that's all. We get to see all the UK-meeting flying fails without bias. That's kinda refreshing these days. Brits don't have any particular hang-ups about being shown to be fallible. We know we're not perfect - we don't claim to be 'great' - and we don't give a toss who gets to see us buggering things up in public. No chips on our shoulders, mate. So what if the descendants of some of our one-time 'enemies' are laughing at us - the Germans, the French, the Chinese, the Japanese, and even a few angry USAmericans - as our Spitfires, Hurricanes and Lancasters are shown tipstalling into the ground. Who cares! People are having a LAUGH, and that's what matters to most of us in this hobby! ;-)

Can only agree, without sounding like an asshole but every 14 y/o flys their 50 USD foam rc plane better than these pilots. Then again it's only old people who fly these expensive planes so maybe the motoric functions and reaction time just isn't there anymore
hi rob, one more 9 min vid to go on as yet, you must have caught some crashes as well m8 ? did you see yourself on here getting run down by a kamikaze zero - lol
@@tbobborap1 That’s all it took for me was one video that “ Horizon Hobby “ posted of a $500 jet almost crashing and after watching that video on TH-cam which was sometime back in October of 2019 and next thing you know here I am going on my third plane.
Hi there, Pete! Great compilation of carnage! What is that plane at 0:27? It looks similar to a Cub with tricycle gear and a V tail. Ive never seen anything like it.
I like the vids.. but i'd like to know why each one crashed.. I'm assuming controller error?... and having not experience flying RC plans.. but these things seem to fall apart so easy.... landing gear and wings.. wtf.. lol
Once again, many pilots' flying skills don't match their building ability. And flying using those around-the-neck trays, holding the sticks between thumb and fore-fingers and use of mode 2 will all contribute to much of the carnage. Flying with no tray and thumbs alone increases sensitivity, dexterity and enables faster reactions/responses and stick movement. After flying every type of model plane possible for almost 50 years (since I was 8 years old) I can always spot a mode-2 and/or thumb-and-finger pilot just from the way the aircraft moves. Just my 2 cents of course; I mean no offence to anyone. I feel the pain in every crash I watch on these channels and have done the walk of blame/shame many, many times myself - most often due to my own idiocy and sometimes (though rarely) due to gear failure. Radio control wasn't nearly as good in the 70's as it is now! Great channel by the way.
I was taught that if you use thumb and fore-finger on the sticks you have better control. As to mode 1 vs mode 2, I would imagine it's what you get used to. If you've flown mode 1 all your life and get hold of a mode 2 setup, you will have problems. I learned using mode 2 (as every model I've seen has), and if I got hold of a mode 1 setup I'd be in big trouble. The guy that taught me explained that you mainly use the right stick in the air and the left stick on the ground.
@@marshallpeters7174 Agreed, it's Fords or Chevys regarding modes, however having the ailerons and elevators on the same stick results in a unique ducking way the aircraft moves (unless being controlled by a very skilled 'pattern' pilot) and I see it a lot in these videos, usually around flare/landing. As for thumb/fingers, the very fact you are holding something between two fingers limits overall movement and in my experience takes the subtle 'feel' out of the sticks. I can fly either mode, but prefer mode 1. And the less said about the number of people I see in these videos who angle the transmitter downwards and and point the antenna toward at the ground while flying the better, though this probably shows my age. 2.4gHz gear helps somewhat with this, but I'd rather not risk it and keep the antenna pointing towards the sky, where it is supposed to be. It's all good fun though!
no - the plane is designed to do that maneuver but we later found out the tail was previously damaged and thus weakened and allowed the tail to break off alex !

3:14 Did someone seriously say “Don’t break it!”? Uummmm, too late! 😂
that was the point of the joke
"Can I have this part??" :D :D :D
3:30 I like how there plane has been completely destroyed and you here 'take it easy 'by eagles in the background, like that's gonna help 😄
I think it's sad to see these beautiful broken toys.
I hope they work again.

You know it was not a good day when you need 10 guys to bring your plane back ;-)
6:14 that rc Vulcan looks amazing :) would love to meet the owner and have a look around it
Yeah it looks pretty fine
He got lucky the kamikaze pilot failed his mission.
Some of those pilotes made these planes with their own hands. I can't even imagine the cost and sadness when your .... Child.... Ends like that..
soul destroying sometimes
You’re having trouble landing because the airspeed is too high. The airplane is still flying and you are forcing it down. The same thing happens in real aircraft.
3:22 Just a bit of gluing and it'll be fine
Glad most of them were repairable!
thanks sam
2:40 completely reparable lol
@@f900ex5 Yeh that one not so much - but at least it wasn't a scale dream machine.
most.......
Similarities to real flying:
Most accidents happen on takeoff/landing
Most of these are pilot error.
am i the only one who heard the guy from war thunder say YOU HAVE A HOLE IN YOUR LEFT WING at 2:38
Most of those crashes are well-deserved. It’s called a go around for a reason.
@@petebradt true story. Might as well get the crash over with.
so fun watching these toy planes crash.

I can never land my tail dragger without it flipping over its nose. Lol
Try to oil the wheels but not to much 👍it helped me.

See flying is the easy part, it's the landing that kills everyone
these vids always make me feel better after crashing one of my foamies.
lol
my worst fear 2:35 D: first video on youtube ive seen of that happening. Thank you for posting!
we found out it had been weakened it two previous accidents - not a problem with the model in any way - lack of maintenance

The hardest part of RC modelling is not keeping your plane in the air, it's keeping a smile on your face. ;-)
So true! I took my plane home in pieces like 1000 times, and was about to quit my hobby everytime. The next day a was on the field again 😁

It always blows my mind how bad some of the pilots flying these super nice models are
They mostly aren't. Most crashes happens at air shows where people are either nervous or totally overlying there planes. Also most pilots are drunk
I know what you mean Curt
I’m 13 and I probably fly better than some of these grown men 😂

5:17 Smooth landing
Gotta love an old man in a high vis
3:57 those are one of the toughest RC plane designs.
They shoot them at gun ranges with shotguns and they still keep flying.

@@tbobborap1 Woah you replied! Thanks so much!
no probs !
Most of these wrecks are tail daggers. They definitely aren't as stable as a tri gear.
some of those crashes were simple mistakes you should outgrow with cheaper foam models. common mistake is landing entirely too fast
3:05 Little glue, little tape, good as new.
I think in most of these cases stronger under carriages are called for, 😂😂👍
Bugger. Cheers for posting bro
lol - thanks ken
Great video guys , all the best ................
thanks scott
Some things never change. Scale pilots are by far the worst pilots. They spend all their time building and not enough time flying.
Andrew Sommer those war birds muppets, always give me a laugh. Trash

Why do so many RC planes break mid-air?
Stress on the Wing
Pushing 10-12 G's on the Wing
If it's not built right, it will snap in 1/2.
Its gonna be funny to wall all rc plane crashes
Landing an RC plane must be difficult.......judging by the number of mishaps.
Like..how do you crash something like that? How? So slow
This was fantastic thanks!!!

Great point that a lot of people seem to be missing. I would not even put one of my planes up in the winds in some of these videos.
I don't understand..
How you can have that much space and flat runway and STILL mess up landings I just don't get it
because you fly bloody foamys dont you xero ?
What's the V-tail at 0:30?
I give up ! what is it ?
What the hell some pilots think... 90% of the guys in that video would better fly a easystar...
Anyone ever heard of exceeding the G limits of the airframe when doing extreme radical maneuvers.
they have now don
0:34 what plan is that?
no idea
2:39 your making the plane go down fast which causing the tail to separate.
no - the plane is designed to do that maneuver but we later found out the tail was previously damaged and thus weakened and allowed the tail to break off alex !
Almost all of these were from landing on thar bumpy ass patch of grass, wtf
shit happens
So many have no idea how to land a toy plane😂😂
Planes must be really cheap in the east cuz I see alot of large planes and jets that get smashed that would cost thousands of dollars here in the usa
nope joe - they still cost thousands of pounds over here as well !
maybe if folks would use the runway they wouldnt destroy there planes trying to land and take off on the grass.. just sayin..
Someone has wispher the other glider pilot while inverted to give up input on control
I would say that a fair amount of those crashes were the result of very poor depth perception
Everyone who says it's fake is a hater
Why is there no brakes on the really large scale airplanes
there are on many of the big jets that fly on tarmac, but on grass the wheels just skid so no point !

Why not make them a bit bigger and get in?
If the plane can fly again without the liberal application of epoxy, it was a successful landing.
